First MTA Form

Basics

Title

Type

Used in respondent-facing wording — “This surveyis closing in:”

Internal name

Only ever shown to your team.

Link

Locked — this form has responses, and changing the link would break every copy already sent out.

Intro text

Optional paragraph under the title on the first page.

Status

Leave blank to open immediately. Times are UTC.

Closed heading

Closed message

Layout

Pages

Headings and text blocks stay attached to the question below them.

Show the title on the formTurn off for a form dropped into a page that already has its own heading. The title still names the browser tab and this form in the admin.

Title alignment

Applies on the form's own page and in embeds. The intro text follows it.

Show a progress bar

Progress label

With branching, the total counts the pages this respondent can still reach — so it stays accurate instead of hedging.

Move on as soon as they answerApplies to pages with a single multiple-choice, yes/no, dropdown, opinion-scale or star-rating question — no Continue button, the form just moves. Back stays available.…including the last question — answering it submitsRemoves the Submit button when the final question is a single choice. Saves a click on a short poll; leave it off where submitting should be a deliberate act.

Return button text

Show everyone the results after they answerTurns this into a poll: the confirmation screen shows the running tally with their own answer marked. Only multiple-choice, dropdown, yes/no, rating and scale questions are tallied — free text, contact details and uploads are never shown publicly.

Send certain answers somewhere else

Optional. Route respondents to different pages based on what they answered — an applicant who qualifies to a booking page, everyone else to a thank-you page. These work with any of the options above, including “show a confirmation”.

Checked top to bottom, first match wins. Anyone matching nothing goes to the fixed destination above, or sees the confirmation message if there isn't one.

Privacy notice

This form asks for contact details, so the privacy line appears under the submit button. It links to the template's privacy policy.

Custom wording

The Privacy Policy link is always appended — it can't be removed.

Backups & notifications

Mirror responses to AirtableA table is created for this form on first use. Postgres stays the system of record — nothing is read back from Airtable.Teach the brain vaultSends aggregate results and the AI summary only. No respondent names, contact details or verbatim answers ever leave this app.

Email me on each response

Comma separated. The email carries a link only, never the answers.

Changes are saved when you press the button

Embed on another page

Drops the form straight into any page — your site, a landing page, a partner's site. It resizes itself as people move through it, and posts a mta-forms:submitted message on completion if you want to hook analytics onto it.

Include the branded headerOff by default — most pages already carry their own branding and a second logo bar reads as a mistake. Turn it on for a page that has none of its own.Hide the form title hereJust for this embed — the form keeps its title everywhere else. Useful when the page you are dropping it into already has a heading.

Paste this where the form should appear

<iframe
  id="mta-form-test-form"
  src="https://mtaform.com/embed/test-form"
  title="Form"
  style="width:100%;border:0;display:block;min-height:420px"
  loading="lazy"
></iframe>
<script>
  window.addEventListener("message", function (e) {
    if (!e.data || e.data.type !== "mta-forms:height") return;
    var f = document.getElementById("mta-form-test-form");
    if (f && e.source === f.contentWindow) f.style.height = e.data.height + "px";
  });
</script>

Preview the embed

It shows no scrollbar and resizes itself as people move through it, so keep the little script below the iframe — without it the frame is stuck at its starting height. The embed never navigates the page it sits on — a redirect after submitting stays inside the frame. Without the header it has no chrome at all and sits on a transparent ground, so it inherits the host page's design.

Copy or archive

Duplicating copies every question, its branching and its settings — never its responses. Archiving is reversible in the database; nothing is permanently deleted.

Reset responses

Empties the form so you can run it again — every response, answer, uploaded file, signature and cached AI summary. The questions, branching and settings all stay exactly as they are.
